Connecting to Veeam Backup Server, but Backups already done

Post by jaf »

hallo,

i run B+R 9.5U1 and the agent for linux.

when i did the installation i just started "veeam" on the linux system and configured the backup job to backup to B+R.

i did NOT run

Code: Select all

veeamconfig vbrserver add

Now i got a license for the agent and i have the problem i cannot assign to the linux agent (with b+r) because i cannot see the agent in b+r

i already tested:

Code: Select all

veeamconfig vbrserver resync
but no change.

is it possible the add the agent to B+R without deleting everything?

Hi,

That's a known bug and will be fixed in the upcoming update. To overcome the problem start a new backup session and stop it - the agent should consume the license automatically once it starts a session.

Thank you

hello,

yes this is true, it consumed the license, so i got the new options/feature.
THANKS for the information.

but btw:
When i take a look at B+R i don't see the agent listed,
only the backup listed in jobs, but i don't see the agent listed in the backup infrastructure.

you are talking about a bug, is this problem the bug?

It's not a bug - Agents are not supposed to be displayed in the current version.

Thanks

hello,

i see.
so the information in the documentation

veeam_agent_linux_1_0_user_guide_en.pdf

e.g page 187+

is not the actual version; it's showing the future?

I meant that Agents are not supposed to be displayed under "Backup Infrastructure", hower the corresponding jobs can be seen under "Agent" subnode of "Jobs" node. So if you don't see "Agents" under "Backup Infrastructure" that's OK, but if you don't see "Agents" under "Jobs" that's a bug and you should file a support case.

Thanks
